Electoral Roll

The Electoral Roll of the parish – of which people must be a member to stand for or vote in church leadership elections – was reviewed over the period from 16th April to 5th May.  At last year's meeting there were 381 members of the Electoral Roll.  During the year 19 names were added to the roll and 72 names removed.  The Roll therefore stands at 328.

We strongly encourage members of the church family who are not yet on the Electoral Roll to register, and this can be done by collecting a form at the InfoHub or online here.
